Ain't no fools in April?

I still remember the days where we looked forward to the 1st of April each year. We counted the days at least a week before. We planned pranks to play on our friends. We woke up on that day, making sure we don't ever forget that it was April Fools' Day although somehow, we always manage to get pranked. Playing pranks, getting pranked. Those were the days.

Somewhere along the road, we grew out of April Fools' Day. It was just another day - ordinary. Well, of course there still are people who take this opportunity to fool others but the numbers are getting smaller year by year. A classic example would be class monitors, whom I think never fail to play a prank on the entire classroom every year. This year, 5 Arif's monitor, Jonie, successfully pranked us by telling us our Maths teacher left us homework even though she was absent. She got as far as getting us to open our textbooks, pencils ready in hand and even pestering her to hurry up in reading us the pages. Teachers would be another example who takes this chance to prank students by having a 'surprise' test.

Ah, feeling somewhat nostalgic already. So, that's all for today.
Happy April Fools' Day
Were you a fool today?
